Gary Brown(LXXXVI)
- Actor
Gary Brown aka Gary "Uncle G" Brown was born in Florida, back in the summer of 1961. A move to Texas in the early nineteen sixties, and then a more permanent relocation in New Jersey that lasted two decades, from the years 1966 to 1986.
An only child, his mother, a professional musician, passed away from the direct results of being an alcoholic when Gary was just seven years old. His father died of a massive heart attack at age 67, just four years later. In multiple foster homes until age 16, Gary worked hard so to free himself from the system. In 1977 he received his G.E.D., one year before he was actually scheduled to graduate from the public school system. Next came a full-time job (40 hours). And many part-time gigs so to add to the wealth. For the next thirty-five plus years, a mixture of white and blue-collar jobs followed. Sometimes working seven days a week.
Always trying to perform professionally to the best of his abilities for whoever was signing the paychecks, working all those hours, for over 3 solid decades, began to physically take its toll. Forever the fighter, to combat this, Gary nowadays devotes his life to his health and on the side, tries to make a few extra bucks as a freelance writer and photographer.
Weedjies! Happy Halloweed (2019)
Gary "Uncle G" Brown made his movie debut, in a Full Moon Features film entitled; Weedjies! Happy Halloweed. Filmed in June of 2019, and released (streaming) in October of that year. Directed by, Danny Draven. Gary was there so he could write a story, but while there, helped out as an extra. Credited (Gary Brown) as a party guest. The setup...it's a Halloween party with people wearing costumes. Gary went as a generic; hippie. Wearing a green tie-dye T-shirt, a red headband (that had a mind of its own and kept riding up his forehead), shades, a pair of Converse, and some groovy bell-bottom jeans. No speaking lines, Gary was directed (background extra) in scenes by Danny Draven and the legendary, Charles Band.
On Gary's personal Facebook page is the following motto; "When life gives lemons, give them back and grab a handful of grapes instead. You'll be glad you did."
